The Value Matrix is based on functionality and usability, the two core measures that Nucleus has found indicate an application’s ability to deliver initial ROI and, ultimately, maximum value over time.

“There's nothing Magic about the Value Matrix. Even though Acumatica is a relatively new player in the space, its high usability and solid functionality makes it a compelling choice for SMBs looking for a cloud ERP offering,” said Rebecca Wettemann, vice president of research at Nucleus Research, in a statement.

Acumatica Cloud ERP was also named a CODiE finalist in the Best Supply Chain Management Solution category this year.

The company recently released its latest version 4.2 that focused on quality, improved usability, and new functionality. Significant new features included enhanced contract management support, PCI compliance support, and automated lead management. Acumatica SaaS is now running on Amazon Web Services as well.

“Acumatica’s advance towards the Leader Quadrant is a huge validation of our maturity as a company and product," said CEO Jon Roskill, in a statement. "As a new entrant to the Matrix last year, this year’s quick rise in ranking on both usability and functionality shows that we are a Cloud ERP force to be reckoned with.”
